CASE-ing Christmas September

Hello, friends! Welcome back to a another month of CASE-ing Christmas Challenge! As you are aware, we are now a MONTHLY challenge and our challenge will run from the 5th of each month at 6:00am CST until the last day of the month at 11:55pm CST.

Each month, we will be celebrating CHRISTMAS on the 25th by doing a random giveaway to one lucky participant! We will have a variety of prizes to give out, but you MUST be linked up by the 23rd of each month in order to be entered into the drawing! :)

As before, we'll give you a card to CASE and you CASE it! If you've never CASEd a card, here's what you need to do:

Look at the CASE card photo.

Be inspired by some element of the card. This could be colours, layout, image, etc.

Let's kick off our challenge by showing you the card to CASE for the month of September. This beautiful card was created by Mynn and I can't wait to see your take on it.

I was inspired by the snowman and the snowy landscape to make this card using Clearly Besotted stamps and dies. The cute snowman is from the Merry Little Christmas set, which sadly is now discontinued. For the snowy landscape I used the Tree Landscape Die, also by Clearly Besotted. Lots of layering for dimension. Each snow dune is a die-cut layer, with the trees snipped off. And to finish minimal embellies for this card: some silver string, Stickles and Liquid Pearls.

I stamped the little guy with Memento Paris Dusk and coloured him with Graph'It markers. The greeting is also stamped Memento Paris Dusk.

And here's a closer look at the landscape. I created the sky by blending Distress Inks - Chipped Sapphire, Milled Lavender and Shaded Lilac. The snowflakes are embossed with WOW Bright White EP.

Link up your project by 23 September 2015 and you will be entered into the Christmas in September random prize draw. We are giving away this festive patterned paper pack called Christmas Past byMHK Designs. This bundle offers 14 gorgeous papers with a vintage vibe to remind you of Christmases past. So pretty, so versatile.

Really beautiful card you have created hunni, I love the embossing, stickles and the type of trim you have used...Thank you so much for joining our Challenge over at Creative Artiste this month and we hope to see you again soon...
